In the early morning of May 13, Beijing time, a match in the 33rd round of the Bundesliga was played by Bochum at home against Bayer Leverkusen. In the end, Bayer Leverkusen relied on the combined goals of Schick, Boniface, Adley, Stanišić and Grimaldo to beat Bochum 5-0 to complete the season double, and at the same time extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 50 games, continuing to break the record of the five major leagues.
As the season comes to a close in the top five leagues, Xavi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen are still unbeaten and breaking new records, extending their unbeaten run to 49 games after a home draw at home to Roma in the Europa League in midweek, the longest unbeaten run by a UEFA top-flight team.
Back in the domestic league, Bayer Leverkusen travel to Bochum, who sit fifth from bottom and are one win away from relegation. It is worth mentioning that the last time Leverkusen lost in all competitions, the opponent was Bochum, and this time it also ushered in a chance for revenge.
In the 15th minute, Bochum defender Paslak was fouled behind and was sent off with a straight red card, and Bayer Leverkusen played an extra man early.
On 41 minutes, Artur sent a precise cross to assist, and Schick fired home directly in front of the goal to give Bayer Leverkusen a 1-0 lead.
In the 45+2nd minute, Terra fell to the ground in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty, and then Boniface hit the penalty to help Bayer Leverkusen score 2-0.
Playing with one more man allowed Bayer Leverkusen to take complete control of the game, and Bochum had no chance to fight back, even in the second half.
In the 76th minute, Hoffman took a corner kick and assisted Adli's header to help Bayer Leverkusen extend the score 3-0.
In the 86th minute, Stanišić scored from the edge of the penalty area. In the 93rd minute, Grimaldo scored in the face of an empty goal. In the end, Bayer Leverkusen sealed the score 5-0.
Bayer Leverkusen were not at all polite in the face of last season's defeat, Bochum still has 33 points, three points ahead of third-to-last Union Berlin with only one game remaining, and a draw in the final game will be relegated.
For Bayer Leverkusen, the victory extended their unbeaten run in all competitions with 41 wins and nine draws, including 27 wins and six draws in 33 Bundesliga games, nine wins and three draws in 12 Europa League games, and five wins in five German Cup games, continuing the unbeaten run of a UEFA top-flight team.
